Eurostar raises frequencies
Eurostar travellers will have half hourly services between London and Paris during peak travel times following the operator’s decision to increase daily services.
An 18th service will be added in each direction on the London to Paris route on Mondays to Thursdays from September.
Weekend services will also be boosted with up to 20 train services available on Fridays from London to Paris and 19 trains coming the other way from July 11.
The operator reports increased traffic from areas north of London thanks to improved through fares introduced earlier this year. It says the travelling public’s keenness to see the newly revamped St Pancras has also helped numbers.
A Eurostar spokesman said: “We are delighted at the growing numbers of travellers from the regions and we will soon be rolling out more through fares with other UK train operators.
“The increase in services means we have 24,000 seats available between London and Paris on Mondays to Thursdays, and 30,000 seats on Fridays.â€
